Well Dizzi and Rascal are 11 weeks old tomorrow and although they've both been handled every day since being old enough to be picked up they've both just decided over the last couple of days that they don't like it!
I've been trying to pick them up and give them a treat (ok a couple of pellets but they absolutely adore them) and then put them down and give them a treat, so they realise its not all bad!
But why have they just decided they don't like it? And is there something I can do to make them like it??
Last night Rascal acted like he might actually try and jump out of my arms whilst I was stood up!! :shock:
When I'm sat down in the run they hop up onto my knee, try and climb up me etc ....... as soon as I actually hold them though .... they wriggle like there's no tomorrow!!
I really want to be able to pick them up so's I can check their bums etc etc without traumatising them.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jo x
